1st race top ten would be great, but I really don't see that, top 15 I reckon... if he stays on!

2nd race obviously better than the first! does he get the chance to test, or is he straight into a race weekend, new team, new technicians and finally new bike!

I reckon he'll need a rostrum or at least to beat Barros to stand a chance of getting this job or similar in MotoGP. Don't get me wrong, i think he's worthy of it but this must be what the Camel team are looking for.

Come on Shakey - lets 'av a rostrum position out of you !!!

So!! if he was to do well!. would it help him get a decent ride?? sadly i think not.

He goes straight into a race weekend

Friday will be his first day on the bike (except the evenings on his own were he'll be sitting on the bike going BRUUUM BRUM)

Hmmm,18th in the first practice session.I think he had better get his finger out.

dickieducati · 23-Sep-2005, 10:38

no better for him in a wet 2nd session still 18th. loris doing well 4th in the wet after 3rd place in the dry.

Not looking good for him really is it? pretty much where he was on the KTM, admittedly it was p*ssing down

Rattler · 23-Sep-2005, 14:28

Time will tell - he's got 2 races, so a good start (both in practice, qualifying and races) with improving across the 2 races will do him good and put him in the shop window for a potential ride next year (probably not at the sharp end though).

Then Chris V takes over for the next 3, he's got a point to prove too.

So Shakey needs to do well to impress and needs to do better than Chris V will.

But what other riders could Honda call upon? The other riders are still involved in other race series (Vermuellen, Kiyonari etc) - who else could they choose? Fil2 has got his Cadwell commitments

I think Kiyo is getting the RCV for the last race of the season - so that's Shakey for 2, Vermuelen for 2 and Kiyo for 1.

Didn't exactly set the world on fire did he?

Pretty much finished where he would of on the KTM
